I just wanted to give u a little update on my check up with my surgeon/ENT.... I saw him today 9/8/14. First thing he said was "you look great". I told him about the bumps on both inside cheeks and under my tongue. Plus my tongue swollen. So he put on his gloves and said lets have a look. First thing he said was the one under my tongue was a blocked salivary gland. The ones on my cheek, irritation from chewing and eating. Swollen tongue, from blocked glands. He said to me 4 times, that is all normal from treatment. See you in 2 months after my pet scan... I am relieved. Prayers to you all.
Tongue Cancer
1/2 tongue removed, replaced by flap from forearm. April 15, 2014
neck disection, 1 lympnode involved, doctors removed all to make sure cancer is gone.
30 rad treatments and 2 cisplatin chemo, doctor said I did not need the third
one. Finished up July 30,2014
Chemo treatment was my choice. The board felt surgery and radiation was plenty to take care of my cancer.
